sioc:content	Uninterrupted power supplies are the ultimate solution to this problem as they help protect your equipments from all kinds of electrical disorders that include power surges, power fluctuations, brownouts and various other hindrances. However just installing a UPS does not guarantee the fact that your equipments are well protected. You also need to see to it that extra security measures are undertaken to ensure complete safety of your applications. Below is given a list of ten protection solutions that you can use in order to maintain the safety of your devices. Lightning can badly affect your hardware, as it is capable of transmitting through telecommunication cables and causing short circuits as it passes through. To avoid such a situation it is necessary to put in a UPS data protection circuit separating your computer network from the telecommunications data line. This will prevent the power surge from destructing other devices and saving you the cost of replacing the entire burnt out plugs and switches. You will only need to replace the data protection device that gets destroyed when such an electrical surge takes place. You must always remember to install the patented software that comes along with the UPS to ensure that all connected systems are correctly powered when the original utility power is temporarily cut off. Check to see if all communication cables are in place so that the PC and the UPS are able to connect with each other. Apart from installing the software that comes with the UPS, it is advisable to change the factory default configurations and set it according to the requirements of your company. Depending on the amount of time your UPS is able to provide backup support see that the configurations are appropriately set to give you enough time to shut down all open applications safely. Batteries cannot last you a lifetime and need to be changed at intervals. In order to ensure that your backup battery is functioning properly, you must install a battery backup tester that will regularly check the status of your battery. You can mark the dates on a calendar on when you want to conduct these tests to ascertain that they are carried out on a regular basis. This will help you know whether the battery is strong enough to power your equipments. Ensure that your present UPS is capable of supporting load when demands increase in the future. You must calculate your total requirement and compare it with what your UPS can provide because if you overload it, the UPS battery is sure to die out. You must remember not to plug in a laser printer to the UPS because a laser printer takes in a lot of energy which most of the UPS brands are unable to supply. It can cause an overload on the battery and in turn weaken its strength. It may be required to fulfil data replication and other network activity that need network connectivity while shutting down systems in case of outages. Therefore all such devices must also be provided with backup energy from an UPS so as to avoid a system failure. You need to command Windows Backup to discard back up functions when it sees that the system has begun to run on the battery mode. Make the necessary changes if required to avoid unfinished or distorted backup of a previous backup file. Batteries cannot last more than a few years and need to be replaced accordingly. Hot swappable batteries are provided by some of the UPS brands. These are useful as they can be changed without having to shut down the system. Also unplug systems that are not used often so that the load on the UPS is reduced during power surges and outages. An uninterrupted power supply should only be used to provide you enough time to safely shut down all working applications before shutting down the system. It should not be used to continue working until it can hold because this can result in corrupted files, data loss and other technical failures. If you can manage to keep these points in mind, you will be able to increase the longevity of your UPS and thereby receive an uninterrupted power supply to successfully shut down your programmes before they are lost.
